Current report

Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, including the ongoing conflict involving Iran, have increased volatility in global energy markets and may elevate risks to regional operations, infrastructure and shipping routes. We have investments in LNG facilities in Qatar, including one producing asset and two projects under construction. In March 2026, due to the conflict, QatarEnergy constrained LNG production at its major Ras Laffan facilities. Our investments have not been damaged, and there are no indications of impairment. However, further escalation could adversely affect operations, LNG transportation and construction and have broader supply chain impacts. Production from our Qatar investments was approximately four percent of total company production volumes in 2025. The company continues to monitor developments and prioritize the safety of personnel and the integrity of our operations. See Note 3.

Current report

For the second quarter, the company is excluding Qatar from production guidance, given uncertainty surrounding the conflict in the Middle East. Second-quarter production is expected to be 2.185 to 2.215 MMBOED.

Current report

Full-year production is expected to be 2.295 to 2.325 MMBOED. This reflects a 20 MBOED annual adjustment for Qatar, given the exclusion of Qatar production from second-quarter guidance, as well as a 15 MBOED annual royalty rate adjustment at Surmont due to higher oil prices.

Current report

Capital spending for 2026 is expected to be $12 to $12.5 billion.

Current report

Total production in the first quarter of 2026 was 2,309 MBOED, a decrease of 80 MBOED or three percent from the same period a year ago. Production decreases were primarily driven by normal field decline.

Current report

Sales and other operating revenues for the three-month period of 2026 decreased $756 million. Decreases include lower volumes of $420 million and lower realized natural gas and NGL prices of $537 million. These decreases were partly offset by higher crude and bitumen prices of $243 million.

Current report

Equity in earnings of affiliates for the three-month period of 2026 decreased $145 million due to lower earnings primarily driven by lower prices and production. There were no impairment indicators identified during the quarter, and we continue to monitor the recoverability of our equity method investments.

Current report

Purchased commodities for the three-month period of 2026 increased $95 million, primarily due to higher power prices, higher power and gas volumes and higher LNG activity. These increases were partly offset by lower derivatives impacts and crude volumes.

Current report

Production and operating expensesfor the three-month period of 2026 decreased $230 million, primarily due to lower activity levels and increased efficiencies.

Current report

DD&A for the three-month period of 2026 increased $160 million, primarily due to higher DD&A rates, driven by higher net book values from the finalized allocations of our Marathon Oil purchase price to specific assets and lower proved developed reserves as of December 31, 2025.

See Note 8.

Current report

Average production decreased 20 MBOED in the three-month period of 2026. Decreases to production resulted from higher variable royalties in Surmont following a post-payout event in 2025 and a rate increase due to higher prices, as well as normal field decline. The Surmont royalties are based on a sliding scale ranging from 25 percent to 40 percent, calculated under the oil sands royalty regime as a percentage of gross revenue, net of allowable deductions post-payout, indexed to WTI prices between $55 CAD and $120 CAD.

Previous report

Throughout 2025, the price of crude oil has been volatile due to multiple macroeconomic and geopolitical forces which slowed global oil demand growth concurrent with higher oil production from OPEC Plus and other major oil producing countries. We continue to closely monitor the macroeconomic environment, including any impacts from tariffs, and the ongoing market volatility in the energy landscape and across global markets for implications to our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Previous report

In conjunction with our acquisition of Marathon Oil, we communicated a disposition proceeds target of $2 billion across the portfolio. In August 2025, we announced an increase to this target for a total of $5 billion by year-end 2026. ConocoPhillips has executed dispositions of over $3 billion in 2025 and is on track to meet its $5 billion disposition target by year-end 2026. On October 1, 2025, the company closed the disposition of Lower 48 assets in the Anadarko Basin for $1.3 billion. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2025, the sale of certain noncore assets closed or expect to close for approximately $0.5 billion, subject to customary closing adjustments. See Note 3.

Previous report

In August 2025, we entered into a 20-year agreement, expected to begin in 2030, to purchase four MTPA of LNG offtake from Phase 2 of the Port Arthur LNG project, further advancing our global LNG portfolio strategy. Additionally, in August 2025, we entered into a 20-year agreement to purchase one MTPA of LNG offtake from the Rio Grande LNG Train 5 facility, expected to begin in 2031, bringing our total committed commercial LNG offtake portfolio to approximately 10 MTPA.

Previous report

The relevant provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), enacted on July 4, 2025, were implemented during the third quarter of 2025. While OBBBA did not have a material effect on our effective tax rate for the quarter, the changes introduced by the legislation impacted our current and deferred tax calculations, with approximately $0.4 billion cash tax benefit recognized in the third quarter of 2025 and the remaining approximately $0.1 billion to be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Previous report

In November 2025, we declared an increase to our quarterly ordinary dividend from $0.78 per share to $0.84 per share, representing an eight percent increase.

Previous wording

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $15.5 billion for the first nine months of 2025 compared with $15.7 billion for the corresponding period of 2024. The decrease resulted from lower commodity prices and tax payment timing, mostly offset by operations from the 2024 Marathon acquisition.

The level of absolute production volumes, as well as the product and location mix, is another significant factor impacting our cash flows. Future production is subject to numerous uncertainties, including, among others, the volatile crude oil and natural gas price environment, which may impact investment decisions; the effects of price changes on production sharing and variable-royalty contracts; acquisition and disposition of fields; field production decline rates; new technologies; operating efficiencies; timing of startups and major turnarounds; political instability; government regulations; impacts of a global pandemic; weather-related disruptions; and the addition of proved reserves through exploratory success and their timely and cost-effective development. While we actively monitor and manage these factors, changes in production levels can cause variability in cash flows, although we generally experience less variability in our cash flows due to changes in production levels than due to changes in commodity prices.
